Chapter 2010: Chapter 2010: The Relationship Between the Demonic Egg and Clare Richardson_1 Chapter 2010: Chapter 2010: The Relationship Between the Demonic Egg and Clare Richardson_1 The eerie deaths cast a shadow of unease over the black-robed figures.

Ethan Smith furrowed his brow as well. He had no idea what kind of method Clare Richardson had used to silently claim their lives!

“That woman is strange. Stay alert!” a black-robed man shouted urgently.

Just then, Clare Richardson struck again.

Countless black chains emerged from her body, each one exuding a chilling and sinister aura–terrifying beyond words.

The black-robed figures instantly adopted grim expressions. They gathered their energy, ready for a counterattack at any moment.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The chains moved, producing an unbearably chilling sound!

It echoed as if it came from the depths of Hell, utterly horrifying, sending waves of terror straight to one's soul!

“Swish!”

Soon, the chains shot toward the group with explosive speed!

Each chain moved so fast that, even though they didn't seem to carry any unique aura, they were spine-chilling.

The black-robed men dared not hesitate; they released extreme bursts of energy and extended their palms to meet the chains head-on!

But then, a horrifying event occurred. The chains pierced straight through their palms, followed closely by their arms!

“Crunch, crunch!” The sound of bones shattering echoed relentlessly.

Entire arms were pulverized, fragmenting as if threaded through.

But it wasn't over. The chains, having pierced their arms, headed straight for their heads!

The black-robed figures naturally refused to sit idly and wait for death. They immediately summoned their magical artifacts to protect their heads.

However, the chains–crafted from unknown materials–seemed unstoppable. The magical artifacts shattered instantly upon contact!

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The chains pierced through their heads without fail, causing them to explode violently!

At the tip of the chains, a faint glimmer appeared.

Upon closer inspection, it was the primordial spirit shining faintly!

Clare Richardson not only took their lives but also abducted their souls!

Ethan Smith's face turned grim. Even though the woman before him was an old acquaintance, Ethan Smith now felt deeply afraid.

Because Clare Richardson now seemed far too terrifying. He couldn't sense any warmth from her anymore. She was like a cold and emotionless killing machine; no one could hope to stop her!

“You… You stay away, or I'll kill him!” the black-robed man who had seized Ethan Smith shouted in panic. He hadn't expected Clare Richardson's power to be this overwhelming, leaving them absolutely powerless!

Holding Ethan Smith before him as a shield, the black-robed man stammered, “If you dare move closer, I'll kill this boy; I swear…”

“Spurt!”

But before he could finish his threat, a chain pierced through Ethan Smith's chest, continuing into the black-robed man's body!

Blood gushed down Ethan Smith's chest as he bent forward to inspect the hole in his body, momentarily unable to believe it.

Clare Richardson had actually hurt him! He recalled what the man with the mustache had once warned him.

*Once Clare Richardson matures, she will recognize no kin and will bring calamity upon the world.*

“Swish!”

The chains crushed the black-robed man's body into fragments, then coldly and mercilessly extracted his primordial spirit.

The chains slowly withdrew, stopping when they reached Ethan Smith's chest.

Ethan Smith's heart skipped a beat. He stared coldly at Clare Richardson and said, “Are you going to kill me?”

At this moment, Ethan Smith became calm instead; the fear in his heart had completely vanished.

He stared directly at Clare Richardson, waiting for her next move.

The chains lingered for only half a second before finally pulling out from Ethan Smith's chest.

Without hesitation, Clare Richardson turned and began to leave.

Ethan Smith shouted, “Clare Richardson, what is your connection to that demonic egg?!”

But Clare Richardson gave no response. As she walked further away, the dark clouds gathering in the sky also began to disperse.

“If you don't tell me, I'll destroy that demonic egg right away!” Ethan Smith roared.

Upon hearing this, Clare Richardson finally stopped in her tracks.

She turned back and looked at Ethan Smith.

Through her mask, Ethan Smith could see her icy eyes.

The once pure and naive gaze was now gone, replaced entirely by an endless, chilling coldness.

Just one look was enough to crush the spirits of most people.

Yet Ethan Smith remained fearless. He stared straight at Clare Richardson, waiting for her answer.

“You won't do that.”

After a long pause, a cold voice finally came from Clare Richardson's mouth.

Throwing out this remark, Clare Richardson ignored Ethan Smith and turned to leave again.

Her movements were bizarre, unlike the techniques of others. Her feet didn't walk along visible paths; instead, her steps were chaotic and unstructured.

Her body sometimes vanished into the darkness, only to emerge again from the Void.

Within moments, she disappeared entirely.

Ethan Smith bent forward to examine his chest and muttered quietly, “Looks like she retained a sliver of humanity.”

If she had no humanity left, Ethan Smith would already be dead by now.

Ethan Smith performed basic first aid on his wound before falling into deep thought.

At this moment, Ethan Smith pondered what level Clare Richardson had truly reached. How had she effortlessly slain these formidable black-robed figures?

Even though they could never rival Nathan Taylor, their power should have been close!

Yet they were utterly defenseless against Clare Richardson. Could it be that she had returned to her peak strength?

Ethan Smith thought as he walked back.

From their earlier exchanges, Ethan Smith learned that the demonic egg wasn't without its hunters. It was just that, before they could even approach it, Clare Richardson had already killed them.

Because of this, the demonic egg remained unharmed.

“If that demonic egg truly has some connection to Clare Richardson, why didn't she take it herself? Why leave it with Salena Carpenter?” Ethan Smith couldn't understand.

He spent the entire night awake.

He stared at the demonic egg cradled in Salena Carpenter's arms. The egg remained quiet even in the dark, resembling nothing more than an ordinary stone.

“When the opportunity arises, I must visit Thunder Courtyard and find answers.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

For the next few days, Ethan Smith stayed close to Salena Carpenter.

Once he was confident that the Green family wouldn't come after them, Ethan finally allowed himself to relax and decided to find an artifact to conceal Salena Carpenter's energy.

Before leaving, Ethan glanced at the demonic egg in Salena Carpenter's hands and reminded her, “If you run into any trouble, use this demonic egg as a shield. Do you understand?”

Salena Carpenter shot Ethan Smith a glare and replied, “What nonsense are you saying? This egg is my precious treasure now. I'm not letting anything happen to it!”

Ethan Smith chuckled bitterly. “Don't worry. Trust me–if you use this demonic egg as a shield, it will remain perfectly intact.”
